EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking ruins of Erment (Hermonthis), showcasing the Temple and Mammisi in all their ancient glory. Taken by French photographer Felix Teynard between 1851-52, this salted paper print transports us back to 19th century Egypt, offering a glimpse into its rich archaeological heritage. The image showcases the exterior of the temple complex, with its majestic pillars standing tall against the Egyptian landscape. The intricate details of each column are beautifully captured, highlighting the mastery of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship. The birth house or mammisi can also be seen in the frame, adding to the religious significance of this site. Teynard's photography skillfully portrays both the grandeur and decay present in these ruins.
